  • Publication number: 20210106081
    Abstract: Present disclosure relates generally to design for a strap adjuster. More specifically, this invention relates to a modular strap adjuster designed to decrease pressure applied to a user's neck from a neck strap from an article of clothing, such as an apron, via a vertically aligned section of material releaseably attached to a neck strap and an anchor point located beneath a neck strap. Other improvements in the design of the strap adjuster are also included in this disclosure.

  • Patent number: 4786293
    Abstract: A control device for an air filter or dust collector equipped with a reverse pulse air cleaning system wherein the pressure differential across the air filter is continuously monitored and compared to a reference set point pressure differential. When the pressure differential across the air filter is greater than or equal to the reference set point pressure differential, a cleaning cycle is initiated. At the end of the cleaning cycle a new pressure differential across the air filter is measured and compared to the pressure differential before cleaning. If the new pressure differential is lower, it is stored and another cleaning cycle is initiated. This cycle is repeated until the "after" pressure differential is equal to or greater than the "pre-cleaning" pressure differential. At this point, a new reference set point pressure differential is calculated and the initial monitoring cycle is repeated until the pressure differential across the filter becomes equal to or greater than the new reference set point.

  • Patent number: 4319897
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a jet pump including an air nozzle and an ejector tube which is mounted above the open clean air end of a cylindrical pleated paper filter element in an aspirated air filter assembly for use in back pulsing air through the interior of the filter element for removing dust therefrom. The ejector tube is of a cylindrical constant radius configuration having a flared open upper end. As a jet of air is back pulsed through the flared upper end of the ejector tube, the configuration of the tube causes the surrounding air to be entrained and accelerated downwardly into the tube where it is diffused and directed into the interior of the filter element, blowing the dust off the cylindrical wall thereof.
